Chapter 38 This winter is not too cold (4) Population problem

 In the dark night, two riders were running in the snow.

Since last year, Qitade has recruited a thousand female students who have attended school in the country, some of whom have graduated from medical care, while some have become female soldiers.

After graduation, Qitade did not bring them together, but most of them were sent to the smallest gathering site in the Khanate (similar to township units), and a small number of people were placed in Otok (a territory of the thousand-man commander, similar to county-level units), cities.

Although regulations have been formulated that women must be at least 20 years old to get married, those who have already got married are strongly encouraged to have children.

Doctors from various summits often treat herders, and more importantly, they take care of pregnant women and young children.

Once you learn that there is a pregnant woman in Sumu waiting for delivery, after calculating the expected delivery date, you will take the initiative to participate in the delivery and bring some fine grains, honey, white gauze and other supplies.

If there is a pregnant woman at home, she will give birth soon. People who work in the Truchen government, army, and factories can also go back to accompany her on ten days of holiday.

Anyone who gave birth to a child then reduced the taxes in that year by half.

This is the first time in pastoral areas. In the past, since most of them were male doctors, pregnant women would rather take delivery in the traditional way than let them participate in the delivery. The emergence of a large number of female doctors has obviously solved this problem.

Honggeer's due date was originally ten days later, but somehow, it was launched today. Wurina, a female doctor from nearby Sumu, rushed over overnight.

He was accompanied by a female soldier Qiqige.

Urina is eighteen years old this year, and Qiqige is only fifteen years old. According to Truqin's plan, Urina will be able to get married in two years, and poor Qiqige needs to work for five years.

However, the two were very satisfied with the current situation. After receiving the news that Honggele was about to give birth prematurely, they immediately cleaned up and set off.

Wurina was carrying a medicine box and carrying a waist knife, but Qiqige was fully armed, with bows and arrows, sabers, pistols, and spears.

Since the incident of Ah Hai, the sheriff on the grassland organized a militia to clear the wolves. The wolf disaster has been greatly reduced, not to mention that there are two Mongolian women over 15 years old and who have been rigorously trained.

Therefore, although it was a snowy night in winter, the two still rushed to Honggele's house twenty miles away.

Halfway through, a fire flashed in front of me.

Qiqige immediately took out the rotating pistol hanging on the right side of his waist, and Wurina also pulled out her waist knife.

After a while, the two sides finally got closer, revealing the anxious and slimming face of Honggele's husband Asan.

"Uncle, how are you doing?"

"Why are you here? No, very bad, alas, I can't explain it clearly, hurry up and follow me"

Under the leadership of Asgan, the two soon arrived at the Asgan family behind a hill.

As soon as Wurina got into the tent, a strong smell of blood rushed over.

An old woman in the tent was busy, and when she saw Wurina, she consciously flashed to the side.

"Premature birth plus difficult labor, another major bleeding!"

At this time, Qiqige, who was standing beside him, had transformed into a nurse, opened Wurina's medicine box first, and handed her a piece of hemostatic gauze.

The baby has already exposed most of his body, only his head is still stuck inside.

“How long has it been?”

"It didn't take long," the old woman replied tremblingly. In the past two years, these female doctors have gained fame, and their obvious high-end skills have gradually declined the traditional midwife.

"Must cut sideways"

Before he finished speaking, Qiqige quickly disinfected a knife with high wine and handed it to Wurina.

"Uncle, hold down your wife!"

As he said that, a large area of ​​blood gushed out from the pregnant woman. If this was the case in the past, it would be very common for a corpse to live two lives.

After side cutting, Urina asked Qiqige to stop the bleeding for Honggele and carefully took out the baby.

After gently slapping the baby, he saw that he had no movement for a long time. At this time, Ashua's heart had sunk to the valley - his wife was stabbed, and blood kept surging. The newly born son had no movement for a long time. Could it be that the most tragic scene on the grassland would happen to him?

Wurina was also a little anxious, but after listening to the baby's heartbeat carefully, she put him flat and gently pressed his chest.

I don’t know how long it took, but the baby boy burst into tears with a "wow".

At the same time, with Qiqige's unremitting efforts, he finally stopped his blood.

Urina handed the baby to Qiqige and asked her to bathe him. She took out the needle and thread from the medicine box. After the same sterilization was also done, she began to suture the wound that Hongge just cut.

"Hold on"

Although Truchen has successfully extracted disinfectants from various alcohols that are close to later generations through distillation, he has not yet been able to make anesthetics. Once surgery is needed, the patient will need to resist.

Fortunately, this kind of surgery was not the first one. She had done it several times before and was successful, so neither Ascan nor Honggele stopped her.

After the stitching was completed, Wurina hesitated for a while and took out something.

If it is a person from later generations, they will easily say their names.

A small glass bottle filled with yellow liquid, the mouth of the bottle is sealed with thick rubber like Truqin, and there is also a set of syringes. At this time, don't think about disposable medicines and syringes.

Soak the syringe in boiling water for a while, wait until it cools down slowly, insert the needle into the bottle plug, slowly pull up the needle, and the golden liquid sucks into the syringe.

This is why Qitad asked Abahai to make original penicillin. It is already in small quantities. It is said that Urina should have done a skin test for Honggele first, but because this thing is too precious, she gave her an injection.

In fact, during the delivery just now, due to struggle, Honggele's birth canal was damaged. In the past, he could only resist it. There was a very high risk of dying from tetanus.

After taking a shot of primitive penicillin, Wurina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a long and laborious struggle, Honggele was exhausted. With the effect of penicillin, she finally fell asleep.

After staying in Asgan's tent for three days, seeing that everything is normal, Urina left behind the gift given to them by the government and left with Qiqige.

"Uncle, once you find anything abnormal, go to Sumu and find me quickly"

Ass nodded, he placed two dirty Hadas on Urina and Qiqige's necks, and folded his hands to bow to them.

"Girls, my wife and I will pray for you"

Urina nodded and was about to leave, Asgan called them again.

"Girls, you have read the book, so give my son a name"

The two girls became interested, so you discussed it one by one. Finally, Urina said to Asgan: "If this child was left in the past, there would be no hope of survival, and he might even take away his Eji."

"He was born smoothly because of Truqin. With Truqin, he was very lucky, so he called Jiya Saiyin"

Jiya Saiyin, the Mongolian word for "good luck", Asgan silently muttered a few words, then bent down and bowed and said, "Okay, it's called Jiya Saiyin"

The same scene continues to happen in the vast pastoral areas of Truqin. According to Su Wenyu, who is in charge of the population, in the past two years, the birth rate of Truqin's residents, whether they are herders, farmers, or craftsmen, has increased significantly.

But the mortality rate is declining significantly.

If this situation continues, the population of the Khanate will double in ten years.

The herdsmen were having children constantly, and Qitade was not idle either. In addition to Jiaen, the eldest concubine Abahai and the second concubine gave birth to two sons back this winter.

Now Qitade has four sons and one daughter.

Of course, no matter how fast the population grows, it is still not enough to look at the huge Russia because the base is there.

If you want to increase a large population in a short period of time, in addition to reproduction, it is the main thing to obtain an incremental population.

He now has 110,000 herdsmen and nearly 40,000 farmers, and the total population is less than 700,000. There is a long way to go.

On this day, Qitad discussed this issue with Su Wenyu at Elista. It happened that Nolbu came back from outside. After hearing the report, he asked him about the population of surrounding forces.

"Khan, in fact, the densest-popular place near the Caspian Sea is the southern bank, which belongs to the Persian Dobastan. The climate is mild and you can grow a large amount of wheat and rice. As far as I know, although the area is not large, the population must exceed one million"

"In addition, the population of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia in the Southern Caucasus must be more than one million"

"The population of western Ukraine is also over one million on both sides of the Dnieper River"

"The population of Shiva Khanate is about two million, and the Bukhara Khanate is definitely more than three million"

"Oh? What's the situation in Persia?"

"After the death of Nadir Shah, the whole of Persia fell into chaos, and his nephew Adir Shah ordered the killing of all Nadir Shah's sons and grandsons except Nadir Shah's grandson Shah Ruk Afshar, and proclaim themselves as Shah"

"Ahmed Sha Durani, the former general of the Guards of Nadirsha, also tried to seize the throne, but was unsuccessful and forced to flee back to Afghanistan, but he successfully seized some of Nadirsha's treasures"

“Ahmed Sha Dulani established the Kingdom of Dulani, freeing Afghanistan from the rule of the Nadir Sha dynasty”

“Adir Shah was overthrown by his younger brother Ibrahim Afshar, but Ibrahim Afshar was overthrown by his own army less than two months after he seized power”

"Then the tribal leaders of the Kurds and Turkmens elected Nadirsha's grandson Shahruk Afshar to rule Khorasan in name, and other areas were actually ruled by local warlords"

"When Nadirsha was reigning, he oppressed the Shiites, causing many Shiites to escape to the mountain, Dobasidan. At present, Dobasidan is actually under the jurisdiction of Ibrahim, the Shiite leader who fled there"

"In recent years, Karim, the general under Nadirsha, gradually unified Persia except Khorasan region and established Shiraz as the capital, Ibrahim had to surrender to Karim"
